Hiring plant in Rustenburg
Platinum mining dominates Rustenburg's plant hire, from shaft and process plant earthworks to tailings dams, haul roads and rehabilitation. Excavators, articulated dump trucks, dozers, graders and water bowsers are in constant demand, while TLBs serve housing, schools and services in Phokeng, Boitekong and the town itself. The Bushveld norite here weathers to black turf, a strongly heaving clay that is excavated and replaced with selected gravel before roads or slabs go down, and hard norite boulders may need a breaker. Rain arrives in summer storms between October and March and turns black turf into thick, sticky mud. The tolled N4 Platinum Highway gives straightforward float access.

Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: moving spares, drums and pallets in a mine stores and workshop
- Housing estates and townships: moving pallets of paving, blocks and pipes between stores and stands on an estate
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: handling kerbs, precast items and pallets of material at a road camp yard
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: loading trucks, unpacking containers and stacking racking in a warehouse
- House plots and renovations: offloading pallets of bricks, blocks and roof tiles onto a residential building site
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: offloading shopfitting, ceiling boards and fittings at a shopping centre build
